LIL' ALLEN Chapter 8

Purchases

courtesy photobucket

Allen, having failed in
making the purchases he wanted at the drug store, was deep in thought. He dreaded the next few hours.

As they drove through the
town he spied a movie house and slowed down while asking Emma if she would like
to see a movie. She quickly said. “No,
and if you drive any slower we will be parked. Speed up and let's get home.”

Allen speeded up and shortly
thereafter they had arrived at the cottage.

Emma got out of the car and
went inside while Allen sat there for a while.

He finally got up enough
nerve to go inside and Emma was preparing to take a shower.

As a matter of fact she said, “This humidity makes
your clothes stick to you so please turn on the fan and cool this place down.”

She then took her nightie out
and laid it on the bed and removed her outer clothes before going into the
bathroom. He had turned away but when he
looked at the bed and was relieved to see that she had taken her night wear
with her to the toilet.

Allen sat at the kitchen
table fully dressed not making any move toward preparing for bed when he saw
the bag of goods Emma had bought.

He could still hear the
shower running so he got up and went over to the bag and peeked into it.

He started to take the items
out one at the time and look at them. The first item was a pint of peach
brandy. He didn't drink and understood that she didn't either. He thought maybe
she used it for other reasons but he couldn't think of what that could be. Then it was a box with the letters; k. o. t. e.
x. napkins, what on earth! Next he
pulled out something with the words "personal lubricant" written with
further information on it and lastly a small box of twelve with the word
Trojans in bold letters on the box.

Before he could put his thoughts
together he heard the shower turn off.

He quickly replaced the items
and busied himself with hanging his clothes up as she came out of the bath room.

She was wearing a thin almost
see through shortie night gown. He tried to turn his head without success when
she leaned over to pick up her clothes he just said, “I think I need a shower,”
also to which she said, “Good, it will make you feel so much better.”

Allen finished his shower and
came out dressed with his pajamas on and sat at the table where the bag was. Emma came over and told him from now on when
we are alone you can call me Emmy for that doesn't sound so formal and I will
call you Al. Allen said; okay.

She then
reached into the bag and brought out the brandy which was a relief to Allen for
he wasn't ready for the other items.

She handed him the brandy and
told him to open it while she got two glasses. She then took it and poured two
large drinks for them.

She said; I never drink but
since you seemed to be a little uncomfortable I thought this would help you.

My
grandfather used to keep a bottle of this and take a small jigger of it before
bedtime and once he gave me a sip. Since this is a special celebration I wanted
it to be something for us to remember.

She came over and sat down on
Allen's lap, handed him his brandy and said; to us and a long, happy life. On
the whole Allen wasn't a praying man but as he was drinking his drink he was
praying; O Lord help me through this.

As she sat on his lap she kissed
him on his lips several times. This was the first time they kissed unless you
count the peck on the cheek the Justice insisted on after he pronounced them
man and wife.
